We started the hike before the sun came up. It was really cold, so I was dressed in layers. People always give you very silly advice. Actually, whenever anyone tells me to “dress in layers”, I always find it very condescending! Why is that? I don’t know why that bothers me. I mean, OF COURSE dress in layers. Oh, you mean, if I get too hot, I can just take off a layer? Oh, brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that? Well… This is a concept everyone is already familiar with, so whenever anyone tells you to “dress in layers”, try not to let it annoy you as much as it does me.

Anyway, after removing many layers, since I was burning hot after the first five minutes from carrying 50 lbs of camera equipment over the Andes, we stopped at this mountain lake to relax and have a quick lunch. It was a good chance to drop off the bag, put together my camera and tripod, then break it all down again, repack, and get back on the hike.

Also, we have a fun new features opening today on the site. It’s a great and simple way for you to share photos on Facebook, Twitter, Email, or IM. You can probably see it when you mouseover a photo… I think it will be a good way for regular viewers to easily share the photos with their friends and family! Below is a short video showing how to use it (even though it’s pretty dang simple!). Again, the more you share, the better it is for the site… so thanks again, very much!

HI Trey

Great shot again today.

Video’s good as well, although not sure if this is a regional thing, but from here in France, i can’t seem to get it to work, having said that i think it’s a great feature, look forward to using it when i can get it to work, i’m using an iMac 24 and Safari 4.0.3

All the best

Mike

Trey,

Similar situation for me as with Mike. Am I required to dowlnload Meebo? Reading their website I get the impression that I should see it at the bottom of your page but I don’t, obviously. I’m using XP with IE 8.

Stunning photo, Trey. I love this one, too!!! Meebo hasn’t got the feature working yet. Hope I remember to try it tomorrow, lol. 😉 But I still share them on facebook anyway and put them in my facebook Trey Ratcliff’s Album. I think I am as proud of what you do as your Mom 🙂

Love love this photo Trey – stunning! I got the meebo to work with no problem – however am having trouble with that thing on the right and sharing with facebook and others – first I had to take pop ups off stuck – then I still can’t seem to bring up friends to drag and drop to. Will try again later -Super cool new features – this will be fun!

Hey Trey, great photo. My favorite photos are the ones from your past trip to Argentina. I’ve liked everyone so far. Also, I’ve noticed a lot of your recent work has made it to Flickr’s explore page almost everyday…Great job!

You are my hero.

Thank you for inspiring me.

Is there some way to hide the “Drag to Share” thingy that now appears in the middle of every photo? It is really annoying

Irvin

Sorry d-uh, ignore previous comment. I see that the “Drag to Share” thing only appears when your mouse is over the photo, and keeping the cursor off the photos will stop it showing up

Chalten is a little part of Patagonia..
Torres del Paine in Chile is the great amazing real Patagonia.. is closer.

trey… incredible shot, and i love the new ability to easily tweet these things, and it looks pretty too! what is the program though that you are using for your mouse animations, like the magnified mouse and the red circle that explodes on a click… i really like it haha

The new feature is awesome and works great! I’m a long-time everyday reader and I promote your site to all my friends 🙂

I have one question (I don’t know if this is the appropriate place to ask but oh well): What logic do you use for organizing your pictures? Do you do it within Lightroom? I’ve been trying to make one folder per “event” (I leave my house with the camera) but that’s getting a bit overwhelming. And sometimes I only take 1 or 2 pictures. I also try to separate my jpgs from RAW. Not only that but it sometimes gets complicated when you save multiple versions of an image as you post process it. I imagine with your amount of pictures and work that you have some genius way to organize… I was wondering if you could give some insight?
